BLURB
Turns out I’ve been faking being an adult. My job? My apartment? The pretty life I've built? Let's just say I've made some mistakes. I'm knee-deep in the mess I've made when I find him. Tall, dark-haired, and rough around the edges. The boy I never noticed is all grown up, in all the right ways. And he's not about to let me forget it. He can try to pretend he's immune to our attraction. I'm trained in the art of persuasion and I love a challenge. But how can he know the answers to questions I haven't thought to ask? I’ve been putting out fires, fighting like crazy to get my life back on track. And this man? He acts like he knows who's holding the match. Maybe there's no such thing as mistakes. What if it's all just sabotage?

EXCERPT
A moan parts my lips as his fingers discover how badly I want him. I tilt my head back as he rubs me. The electric storm between my legs makes it impossible to think of anything but his touch. My skin is on fire and his hands are relentless and unafraid, rough as coal and fueling my heat into a full-blown flame. I'm hurting for him to be inside of me.
Eyes shut, I have no idea what he intends to do next until his lips find mine below. I groan out. Loud. He savors me slowly at first. But his tastes turn to nipping, and then he devours me with increasing vigor. Out of nowhere, he gives my clit one sudden, sharp suck.
"Oh God," I breathe out. My back arches upward, pulled by the firing nerves running up and down my core.
Reality blurs away, intoxicating lust pulls a veil over all of my other senses. All I know is his lips on me. I'm clutching the edge of the counter and twisting my hips any way I can to grind against his face and show him with my movements how incredibly good he's making me feel. Owen's waging an assault on my body, concentrating all his forces on the one small spot where the war is won.
I've never been tasted like this before. This man knows what he's doing. He knows how much pressure to put where, he knows how to weave over all the sensitive spots. When to be rough, when to pull back. He puts his whole damn head into it.
It's like he knows exactly what I'm itching for before I even decide, scratching the perfect place every single time. His tongue massages my most sensitive spot long enough to put me on edge and then tortuously moves to another itch.
He's a fucking professional, bringing me to the brink of orgasm three or four times and somehow, defiantly, keeps me right there until I'm begging in a desperate whisper for him to make me come. He slides a finger inside of me, all the while tasting me, and lets out a groan as I squeeze around it. His finger pulses in and out of me to the rhythm of my uneven heartbeat. One of my legs hooks over his shoulder, pulling his face further into me. He must know, somehow, how close I am, because he lightly drags his teeth against me. My eyes fly open as the sting of pain twists instantly to insane ecstasy that plunges me into an explosive orgasm. I'm sure my spine dissolved and my body is left boneless.
I laugh. That felt so damn good I don't know what else to do but laugh.
"Does that mean you want more?" Owen asks. The look in his eyes tells me he's still starving. And I'm on the menu.
"I'll give you more."
Review
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I picked this book up, but what I got was very seductive.
Emily has just been fired and about to be homeless and now she's not sure what to do except going to her sister's home, her hometown, for a breather. While there she makes a trip a place that brought her solace while in school. As she sat walked in, a man caught her attention. Something about him drew her to him. He was a stranger yet something about him was familiar. Owen is stand offish towards her due to something that happened years prior are her supposed behest.
Owen's always had a thing for Emily and when she walked into the diner, it took him by surprise. He may be wonder why she's there and although he puts up a hard demeanor, he's just as drawn to her today as he was all those years ago.
The more time they share together, the more deeply he falls for her. Emily is falling for him as well, but she's waiting for the other shoe to fall; there are some deep seated issues she's unwilling to come to grips with.
But when her demons threaten her and those around her, Emily is forced to face all her issues. But is it a little too late for her relationship with Owen? Only time will tell.
I loved this story. It had depth, passion, tension, angst, sensuality and self discovery. It wasn't about the hot, steamy sex (although there was some very sizzling moments), the underlying story was about Emily coming into her own. Learning that she is worth the happiness. Grabbing life by both hands is better than always worrying that something is going to go horribly wrong. A great message within an amazing story.
